    The garden got cleaned out today... The last portion was the Sweet Potato hills. I had 16 hills planted... Ended up with some nice selection of potatoes.

    I don't usually dig mine for a couple more weeks and they've never looked that good. I think I planted 25 slips...had a few die. Will report back after I dig mine.

    Anybody plant the white SP?
    We got some a while back, and man were they good. I'd say better than any I've had, but we haven't found 'em since.:(
